Houston Staple! A buddy mentioned he over-heard some business owner at another influential restaurant taking about this place. We peeped game and we’re not disappointed. The authenticity is comparable to a few spots in Chinatown we like to hit up from time to time. Btw they still have 2008 prices! Honestly, tell me another place you can buy a banh mi for 4.62? In midtown, on top of that!
Stopped by to have lunch one day. I'm very particular about tofu dishes, so I tried the Cali Spicy Garlic Tofu to see how it was. I chose vegetables instead of rice. The tofu was absolutely fantastic and I was very pleased with the dish. They did a wonderful job of seasoning the dish which most places I've tried have come up short. I appreciated having several vegetarian options to choose from. Since there were several tofu dishes on the menu, I stopped by on another day and tried the Tofu in Curry Sauce. It was absolutely delicious as well. I can say that they are consistent in their food preparation. Also, the service was excellent. Will definitely be back to try another vegetarian dish. In addition, their entire menu has a vast amount of items to choose from. There is definitely something for everyone.
Not only was the food phenomenal, but the customer service was AMAZING! I had such a great experience and was blown away both by how tasty and authentic it was! I had egg rolls and a Meatball Pho and my friend had a spicy beef chicken and pork soup. All of it was AMAZING!!! Will be back once a week!
Price and product unmatched. My family and I come here often and have never had a bad experience or food. I love those Sandwhiches! If we need something quick and are around the area we usually end up here.. which is always a treat. Thank you Cali Sandwich and Pho for feeding Houston great food!
I would give this place six stars if I could. Always enjoy my meal at Cali. The banh mi is fantastic, and it’s hard to beat the price. The pho is also delicious, along with the spring rolls. Service is fast even when the place is crowded. It’s one of my favorite places in Houston.
The chicken banh mi and eggrolls are delicious! Definitely will be back to try more menu items.
True to life family run Viet joint serving the best comfort flavors. Trust me the marinated tofu sandwich is a beacon of goodness and the garlic beef is dynamite. Wonton soup with shrimp and pork dumpling make you say thank you sir may I have another! And for dessert a super smooth mango/pineapple smoothie can’t be beat. Ring the yum bell it’s time to chow down!!
Absolutely delicious and fresh Bahn Mi, Soups, and other Vietnamese and South Asian dishes!Last weekend, we tried the Pork and Seafood Soup and a Vermicelli Dish with Egg-rolls and Grilled Pork. We also had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. The food was so good, we went back this weekend!This time we tried the Fish Ball Bahn Mi with Fried Egg, the Beef Bahn Mi with Fried Egg and extra pickled carrot and daikon, the Sticky Rice with Chinese Sausage, and another great Vietnamese Iced Coffee.My wife was happy to try the Chinese Sausage, which was comparable to what I’ve had in Beijing.The Beef was just right at medium-well: tender and juicy. The Fish balls were perfectly fried with just a little bit of crisp to the outside. And the fried egg in both was fluffy and delicious: definitely expertly quick fried in a wok.Delectable, high quality, and filling food.Strong and creamy coffee Vietnamese coffee.
Excellent place for meals all day long....in midtown and plenty of parking on site. Prices are perfect for plenty of delicious food per dish or sandwichs!!??.... I enjoyed the #26 Bùn Bò Huê and will definitely return to try more of the menu selection. ??♂️
Very tasteful food, got the beef Banh Mi and garlic marinated beef. Both incredible. Service was great and the host was very personable. Solid prices too!
